Today?

[Troll]

Sorry to see that Bob. Holy Cows... if you didn't have bad luck, you'd have NO luck. You keep finding the weakest spots, pretty soon every single piece on the car will be made of billet un-obtanium. :)

Last pass ... It was on kill

[pwtmxracing]

Your luck is worse than mine

[JOlbert]

Give Mark Williams a call, they'll fix you up. I had issues with other slip yokes twisting in my Trans Am & ordered on of the MW slip yokes. Never had another problem.

f the yoke, hows the tranny? Thats crazy, never seen that before.

Thanks, but it is mostly self inflicted ;) Trying to run as much as I do with a 4 banger, stick shift car is going to break shit. That's just the reality of it. Race it, break it, fix, it, do it all over again ...

1st call Monday. It's time for a steel on for sure. Lots of passes on this one, but you can see the splines was hammered.

f the yoke, hows the tranny?

Million dollar question for sure ... It kicked the seal out of it, and the rest of the slip yoke is still inside it. I just ran out with the trailer and picked it up ... sort of so disgusted I just dropped it off still on the trailer at my buddies house. We are going to unload it over there tomorrow and see if it hurt the main shaft. Best case a tailshaft bearing. It is the hardened G Force main shaft so some chance it survived, otherwise $$$$'s ...

Here is another really weird thing. I had the car loaded up to run that pass. It hit hard, blew up the slip yoke, and hit the limiter and shut off .... Strangley, the car wouldnt start after all of this ... I was more worried about that than the driveline. Turns out, the thing tripped the inertia switch when it broke. That's how hard it hit.

On a bright spot for me, the first pass I blew the tires off pretty bad ... Car only went 1.85 60' where I'm typically mid 1.5x's ... Even with the lousy 60', it went 11.89 at 118 mph on what was my 12 flat tune up last year ;) I think it would have went 11.50's pretty easy today

Did you put ATF down? lol

[Martin0660]

Did you put ATF down? lol

The G Force uses 2/3rds Synergyn gear oil. 1/3 Mobil 1 ATF ... If kicked the rear seal out and put 10 freaking drops of oil on the track right where it broke. The rest of the slip yoke is still in the tranny keeping the oil from coming out ...

Not a vladeez type oil down but they did need a mop ;)

[Martin0660]

Main shaft looks like it survived, off to my "tranny guy" right now

Im sure that's not the first time you've said those words......

[Martin0660]

Rob is definitely on my speed dial ;)

[no1sirbutler]

Is rob any good with Autos?

I've not known him to do any ... I really don't speak auto ;)

Ready to go back in ...

[Martin0660]

Back together, ready to find the next weak link

[Dan B.]

I think the bubble hatch did it!

Glad to see you back in business.
